Healthy Breakfasts You Can Make At Work

It’s 7 a.m and you have to get up. Do you hop out of bed and start the day, or snooze for another hour and sacrifice your breakfast?

Many of us would choose the latter -- in fact one study said more than 50 percent of Australians skipped breakfast, despite knowing breakfast was the most important meal of the day.

What if we said it’s possible to sleep that extra hour while still starting the day the right way?

Nutritionist Jessica Cox from JCN Clinic in Brisbane gave The Huffington Post Australia five ridiculously easy, delicious and healthy breakfasts to give you long-lasting satiety and to reduce sugar cravings.

Better yet, you can make (and eat!) them at work.

“Having a well-balanced meal at the beginning of the day kick starts our metabolism and boosts our energy levels," Cox told HuffPost Australia.

“When we eat the wrong food, or skip breakfast altogether, we feel flat and tired.”

This in turn leads to reaching for sugary snacks to help get us through the morning -- and all through the afternoon.

According to Cox, the key elements that constitute a healthy breakfast were fairly simple.

“Your breakfast should contain a combination of macronutrients -- which includes complex carbohydrates, protein and essential fats at its core. Secondly, aim to add a handful of something fresh like some fruit or some easy salad vegetables.”
